"Basic social media scheduling "

3/5

What do you like best about Gain?

Gain is a good platform to use if you just need to schedule social media content. You can connect Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram. It is also capable of file collaborations.

There are approval workflows built in so that a client or other team member can approve posts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gain?

If you have a post that you would like to feature on different channels, you have to duplicate the post. Other schedulers allow you to craft it within one box and modify it for each channel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Gain:

If you are looking to export social metrics, this is not the right platform. Purely a scheduler. You can export what your posts were, but you can't see them as they appear on each platform once posted.

Give access to only those that need it as you are charged per user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Gain solving and how is that benefiting you?

The calendar view of Gain makes it very simple to see what you've got coming up. Being able to sort amongst channels is helpful too. We have client access for post approvals and it's very easy for them to approve or suggest changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use. Always adding new updates. "

5/5

What do you like best about Gain?

It's easy to use and their customer support is robust. It automatically publishes to most channels, saving me the effort of posting one by one. Clients can easily use the platform without many directions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gain?

No social media engagement capabilities. I wish I could use GAIN for all of my social media management duties. Currently, I am only using it to create and schedule content, but wish I could also manage any responses, comments, or messages that come through. I'm lucky to also have Sprout Social to manage this, but I know it's not the same for others and it would be a large differentiator if this capability was added. One stop shop for all organic social media management, from content creation to community management would be killer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Gain:

Set up your profiles as thoroughly as possible. Feel free to chat with Customer Service reps because they are super responsive, whether that's recommending additional functionalities or asking for product support, they're easy to get a hold of than figuring it out yourself.
